Students asked us for more volunteer opportunities, so we made it happen — the Martlet is now recruiting summer volunteers! Volunteers will get one-on-one mentorship, ample training, and access to our workshops with local journalists. martlet.ca/volunteer/
In the last 74 years, the Martlet has served as a launchpad for careers in media. Martlet writers have freelanced for the Globe and Mail, the Tyee, the New York Times, and CBC. They have also been paid for freelance work at @CapitalDailyVic — a new local longform journalism site.
